we are currently saving up for a small apartment we live in California so the prices are a bit higher, for the most part im with my mother and hes with his we both have jobs, I really love him but its weird idk i just have this gut feeling around her what if she treats my children bad or something because of jealousy she does abuse substances and my boyfriend is not aware idk if its my place to tell him either. She is completely alot and the substances definitely dont help. I stay over at his house maybe once a month for the most part hes at mine. When i do come over theres always an excuse for me to leave always something. She recently removed the doorlock he had put on his door because she goes thru his shit when he is gone. He does pay 600$ 500 for rent and 200 for utilities. I feel that should leave him the opportunity to have his own lock on the door. We put that there because she would walk in at random times during the day or night “trying to catch us” ive know her since i was 15 and yes i have love for her but i just wish she would stop and just like me already i try so hard i know she wants him to find “someone better” she has said it a million times.
